Harry Kane will earn up to £150,000 a week after he signed a new five-and-a half-year deal to become Tottenham Hotspur’s highest earner.

The north London club were so desperate to tie down their England striker that they caved in on his wage demands and completed the deal in the space of two days. The club revived contract talks last week after they failed to get an agreement with him, initially in pre-season and then in September.

The deal runs until 2022 and Kane will earn about £120,000 a week plus bonuses, double his wage in his previous deal that was due to run until 2020. It is the first time that Tottenham will pay a six-figure weekly wage.
